I need a drink already!

It took me an extra hour to get in to work today. I almost slid into a car turning into daycare. I was crawling around the corner, but my car just wanted to go straight. Thankfully it stopped a few inches from the guy's driver door. We both made a Holyfuckthatwouldhavesucked face, smiled and carried on. Got on the highway and it took me 25 minutes to go one exit. Tons of cars off the road, spun out. Finally made it downtown, and almost spun out in a patch of icy slush. Made it to the office just minutes before my 9am meeting. Joy.

So, how was your commute?

I walked across my driveway and the unplowed parking lot. I should have went back for my boots, but I didn't. Now my shoes are wet.lol

I'm sorry your commute was so terrible. I would have been crying. I don't deal well with bad weather and close calls.

Aside from DD finding everyway imaginable to delay actually putting her coat on and walking out the door, it went reasonably well. There was a wreck that slowed things down but it was dry. Tomorrow may not be so nice :-(

Sorry your commute sucked!

I walked to work in single-digit wind chill. But it wasn't so bad! I got to talk about sex in my class.

Sorry, motzie. I heard the driving was terrible on the expressway. My office mate warned me so I took back roads. There was no traffic and I got to work in 15 minutes

Motzie, I'm glad you're safe. That's a terrible way to start your day.

We went from sunny and 78 to rainy/drizzly so I'm sure my commute won't be as easy as usual. People here don't know how to drive in the rain and either go too fast or ridiculously slow, so there are always accidents.

It was warm enough to rain for the first time in 2 weeks yesterday. Unfortunately, no one realized that the rain was going to freeze overnight, so there were a lot of icy roads and stupid drivers on the way to work today, not my favorite combination. But I made it without incident and was only 4 minutes late, so I guess I can't really complain too much.

My big complaint for the morning is that someone put a box of cookies next to the coffee pot and I really want one, but they're all chocolate so I can't eat them.

Luckily mine wasn't too bad.  Though I did see 3 people in the ditch on my way in.

Usually I can get to work in about 15-20 minutes.  This morning was about 30 minutes. 

Hopefully the weather will warm up and the salt stuff actually starts working (it is currently a balmy 5 degrees/-12 windchill outside).

Baby Fuss attempted to instigate WWIII this morning over the matter of putting on socks.

In a deft turn of diplomacy I offered him 10 full seconds to sit by himself in the corner if his room clutching his socks to his chest and pouting.

It's just cold and windy here, but no precipitation. They're predicting sleet/snow or something tomorrow afternoon and into the evening hours. I bet our traffic and roads will be a mess.

It actually feels warmer here than it has for the past few days. We're in the double digits and the wind chill isn't as horrible. It felt like 6 yesterday.

Roads are dry here. But, when I got to work there was no Internet in the building as were told to go home so we could log on remotely, since apparently that still works. Go figure.

Gorilla orgies? Did you blush?

[gault]

wow, motz. I'm really glad nothing happened.

It's been raining here, which means people turn idiotic in their cars.
